L'aérosol atmosphérique est un composant essentiel dans la machine climatique, il contribue d’une façon significative à l'extinction du rayonnement au sein de l'atmosphère par les processus d’absorption et de diffusion. Ces processus peuvent être quantifiés sous le terme de forçage radiatif direct; la détermination de ce forçage reste incertaine à l'heure actuelle aux niveaux régional et [mondial]. 1, record 1, French, - for%C3%A7age%20radiatif%20direct

Sulfate aerosols are injected into the atmosphere from the combustion of fossil fuels and the eruption of volcanoes like Mt. Pinatubo. Recent theory suggest that sulfate aerosols may lower the earth's temperature by reflecting away solar radiation (negative radiative forcing). 3, record 2, English, - sulfate%20aerosol

De nombreuses espèces planctoniques fabriquent de grandes quantités de diméthylsulfure, ou DMS. Lorsqu’il se trouve oxydé et transformé en aérosol sulfaté, le DMS fournit la majeure partie des noyaux de condensation qui sont à l’origine des nuages au-dessus des régions océaniques éloignées des continents. 4, record 2, French, - a%C3%A9rosol%20de%20sulfate
